ABSTRACT

WHEN the Turks besieged Zichron, they invaded Hadera as well, searching for Lishansky and other members of Nili. Hearing the noise around midnight, Mendel Schneersohn got out of bed and went to investigate. In his pyjamas he found himself herded together with a group of men and women under arrest. To his horror he remembered that in his pyjama pocket was a letter from Liova. It had been left on Liova’s last visit a few days before, and had been transmitted to him only that day.
